Abstract EN
Cardiopulmonary collapse during labour is a catastrophic event caused by various medical, surgical and obstetrical conditions.
It is an emergency that threatens the life of the mother and her unborn child.
We present a case of a pregnant woman who suffered from preeclampsia and underwent induction of labour.
Severe lung edema occurred early in labour that caused cardiopulmonary collapse.
Advanced heart-lung resuscitation was established immediately and continued until an emergency cesarean section was performed few minutes later.
The outcome was favourable for both mother and child.
We further discuss some aspects of the pathophysiology and appropriate treatment of cardiorespiratory arrest during labour, which involves the coordinated action of the obstetric, pediatric and surgical ward personnel.
